ANZ analysts said Australian seasonal conditions have been excellent, with strong pasture supporting livestock and dairy producers. They also said Ukraine, a major corn, wheat and sunflower oil exporter, is affected by the Russian invasion and that agricultural prices remain historically high.
Ukraine's export disruption tightens world corn, wheat and sunoil supply, supporting feed-grain and vegoil prices, while strong Australian pasture trims near-term supplementary feed demand.
After 323 past bullish geopolitics events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
